Driven to Succeed By Lalaena Gonzalez-Figueroa An astute negotiator with a personable approach, Kathy Koppie offers her clients thoughtful representation throughout the course of every purchase and sale transaction. With a background in finance and a focus on providing exceptional customer care, she ensures that each of her client’s distinct wants and needs are consistently met. Before transitioning into real estate, Kathy established herself as the finance manager at a high-line automotive dealership in Newport Beach. The position was demanding, but she enjoyed the challenges and the opportunity to connect with customers, identify their goals and create strategies designed to assist them in reaching those objectives. Those skills have proved an ideal foundation upon which to build her real estate career, and Kathy has relentlessly pursued the training and education to ensure that she provides the highest possible level of service. Her diligence makes the difference. Kathy doesn’t just do her part to meet her clients’ goals; she also ensures that they maintain resolve and motivation throughout the process. “In complex transactions, when challenges or obstacles arise, it can become easy for people to lose sight of what they’re really working toward,” she explains. Kathy’s objective approach facilitates a renewed sense of focus for her clients, allowing them to regain sight of the end results they’re working to achieve. Client Patty Hennessey, whose home sold within the span of a week, remarks that she was impressed by Kathy’s diligence and thoughtfulness. “She made it really hassle free,” says Hennessey. “Kathy held multiple open houses in order to quickly attract prospective buyers, and did a fantastic job at marketing. This minimized the inconvenience to me, which I really appreciated. Once we were dealing with offers, Kathy was great at negotiating a price that worked for me.” Hennessey notes that, throughout the course of the transaction, she believed that Kathy maintained her best interests at the forefront of her actions. Kathy’s persistence is limitless; launching her career while the industry was in the throes of a worldwide economic crisis posed remarkable challenges, which she met with unwavering determination. It was an uphill battle, but she engaged herself with the assistance of a solid support team. She collaborated with established agents, incorporating their best practices into her repertoire while consistently evaluating and refining her business model. “There is a level of tribal knowledge in our industry that is only obtained through experience,” she observes. “I knew it was critical for me to learn from those who were committed to weathering the storm.” She works with residential buyers and sellers throughout Orange County and surrounding regions, providing her clients with the knowledgeable and diligent representation they need to navigate a still-changing marketplace. “I’m committed to follow-through,” she says. “If I say I’ll be somewhere and get something done, I do what it takes to make it happen.” With buyers, this means taking a creative approach to finding properties that meet their criteria. Whether she’s networking with other agents or door knocking to identify potential sellers, Kathy leaves no stone unturned in her efforts. Her success has been achieved with intention; Kathy has carefully cultivated her thriving career by addressing the ongoing needs of her profession as well as her clientele. “In order to lead my clients with confidence,” she explains, “I am constantly examining opportunities to expand upon my knowledge and skills.” To that end Kathy has earned a designation as a Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR) and is in the process of becoming a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE). Kathy looks forward to the opportunity to continue to make a difference in the lives of others. “Buying or selling a home is such a significant process,” she reflects. “It’s an honor to be able to facilitate a successful experience for my clients.” Kathy Koppie Keller Williams Realty 27101 Puerta Real, Suite 150 Mission Viejo, CA 92691 Telephone: (949) 424-0003 KatSellsOC@gmail.com www.kathykoppie.com DRE # 01857595 <strong>Executive</strong><strong>Agent</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>
